  • Crowd injuries from crash at Houston. Prayers.

    Looked bad, let's hope no one got hit.

    Bad crash. I also hope everyone, drivers and spectators, are okay.

    It looks like that grand stand is really close to the wall. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea given the speed in that section.

          Absolutely terrifying wreck. 15 people at the race hurt, and they're skipping the infield care center and taking Dario straight to the hospital.

              One positive is that the fence piece that went into the crowd looked to be a "light" section. Also that there was a free tire that went flying and missed the crowd.

                Heard from reliable source: Dario beat up but OK.
                Good news.
                Hope all spectators are fine...

                  For the latest on Dario and fans......

                  the TV commentator said go to Indycar.com but it looks like the site has crashed.
                  All roads lead to Indy except for State Road 39 which goes to Martinsville.

                    Can't really fault them there. The amount of traffic going to the site is a huge abnormality.

                      I think they shut it down. I tried to get on to see the standings right after the accident.

                              That was my thought, as well. No way it got slammed that fast.
